What can you say about a book in which the hero is a potato, who lives in a town famous for its donut hole factory and clown burial ground, motto, ‘Chuderton: it’s filthy but it’s friendly!’
Yes, as you will no doubt guess, this is unashamedly, wonderfully off the wall, the five self-contained stories filled with aliens, pets on the rampage, Spudbert’s unusual friends, his no-nonsense gran and her incredible state of the art toilet amongst other things.
It’s all brilliantly illustrated by Neil Coslett too, black and white cartoon style drawings on every page; after all, who else could capture the mega-robot flushing machine, the Flushertron, in all its glory, or indeed Spudbert’s Gran when she takes it on?
You won’t find zanier stories outside the Captain Underpants universe; adults should probably avoid it, but the target audience will devour it!
Meet Kid Potato! He's a totally regular kid . . . except he's a potato.Join him and his friends in FIVE spud-tacularly funny, bite-size and utterly pointless adventures, perfect for fans of Dav Pilkey and Jamie Smart! Spongebob Squarepants meets Barry Loser in this hilarious new series bursting with illustrations on every page, ideal for visual kids, newly confident and reluctant readers, or kids (and adults) who love to LOL.
